Since there has not been any replies, I will provide my experience so far. I used the element pants, jacket and assault shirt for my recent 5 day elk hunt. It rained, hailed, was muddy and had a little sun. The gear was not too hot for long steep hikes, stitching held up nicely and keep me warm enough on the cold morning hunts. I also spent a few days riding horses and it held up nicely on that part as well. The pants and jacket has pit zips and they were wonderful on the days I hiked my guts out.
So far, I am sold on the gear. The mountain mimicry pattern also worked pretty well for the Unitas. At least the elk didn't seem to notice me...
